WITH reference to last Wednesday's statement- that the impudent vagrant" Ivanko is an Aus- trian subject, we are informed on good authority that the man in question possesses nothing but two Russian documents, in the one of which he is called an "inhabitant" of Canada, in the other an Austrian subject but he is unable to produce any proofs for this alleged Austrian of British citizenship. It occurs very after that tramps of similar calibre make false statements with regard to their nationality in order to get pecuniary aid from, different consulates at 'the' same time.
